Just returned from a coach weekend away at the Osbourne, our stay was excellent. Nick was always on hand to help with anything, the staff were great and the room and food were to a high standard. As an extra bonus we even had superb weather! We look forward to a return visit. Many thanks to all.

My boyfriend and I stayed at this hotel for only one night completely by accident. We walked passed and shared a cigarette with what we thought was a couple friendly locals. We found out later in the evening after a hilarious night of Kareoke and merriment, that Nick was in fact the owner! And what a lovely, excentric, welcoming guy... More
